    Perhaps I should have said, "Just FYI P0000 is not a valid Prius or Toyota Techstream code." You still didn't answer the question, "with what are you reading the codes?"
    So, it took that guy (whose credentials were not stated, so just some guy on the internet) 4:34 to say that P0000 is an SAE standard code that means there are no codes at this time.
    .... or is it? Given the above definition, if you accept it, why are you so fixated on clearing it, given that it is not really there in the first place. It is just the way the tool you are using has to say, "you do not have any faults codes at this time."

    Techstream does not display P0000 if there are no codes, it simply displays no codes if there are no codes. I know which one is more logical – to me at least.

    If you would care to share how you were able to erase the P0000, it would be so much help to the rest of us, so we can help the next person with this problem.

    Thanks for that, it is good information. It is interesting how you couldn't clear it with your code reader.

    One last question, when you only had the P0000, were there any lights on the dash, or not?
